OK... What really annoys me is governments that take a third of my wages and give me rotten services in return; criminals who steal stuff that I worked hard to save for; freeloaders who know all about their entitlements and nothing about duty and service; companies that promise great things and hide multiple get-out clauses in small print and all those people who drop rubbish and chewing gum all over the place and let their dogs sh*t on the pavement. Frankly I don't care a jot about the loo seat or the crusty bit on the tothpaste; if something misses this wash it can go in the next but I do agree about shop assistants and bosses. I feel better now:) Bob

Trish I can definitely relate to that one too! And I would add bosses who want everything "now", regardless of how much work is involved in getting it and never say thank you when you have bent over backwards to provide it quicker than anyone had a right to expect. Sorry, this one is very close to my heart after the last working week. I'm glad it's a bank holiday. Angela [And if my boss is looking in, I meant your boss not you personally!!]

Bosses who don't know what they're talking about and certainly haven't got the slightest how to do simple jobs.

People who wash up because I've cooked then think they've finished when they haven't wiped round the sink or surround. Really irritating as I get fed up of having to finish off properly. And people who put recyclable rubbish in the ordinary bin. And who let toothpaste dry on the nozzle of those pump toothpastes so it comes off on my brush. And who think that cleaning the bath means cleaning around toiletry bottles, leaving rings, rather than picking them up and putting them away. Grrrrr [PS - for people read husbands] Angela

Inability to fit new toilet roll onto holder AND dispose of empty tube. If I don't remove the empties, it looks like a miniature skittles match.

Tracy That is one of my irritating things I bring down all the dirty clothes, put it all in and then find something I have dropped on the stairs. And I hate Asda if I just pop in I go to the 10 items but the quee is just sooo slow. And then if I have done a weeks shop get out the door after paying and suddenly rember that you forgot something. And when I pop into my local shop and your stood there behind someone that is having a good old chat with the cashier. I think oh come on some people have got lives to get on with you know. like getting home to switch on the pc. Debbie
